3. Olmsted focused on a variety of design concepts that were significantly different from those
of the gardeners of his time because he wanted to use landscape art to address basic human
needs and also because he believed that the process involved must be unconscious. He
believed that, in the largest context, the "elegance of design," or the process of creating a
design in which all elements serve a single, cohesive purpose, was what distinguished his
work from that of the gardener. Olmsted also believed that, in order to relieve stress, parks
should be friendly, safe, distraction-free, and provide peaceful scenery. He wanted parks to
be gathering spots for individuals from all walks of existence, places where everyone might
participate in active and passive recreation on an equal level.
4. The settlement house movement was a social movement that supported the concept of
building large housing projects to give the working class mobility. It originated from a desire
for improvement that had already had an impact in a number of other sectors, such as the
establishment of several organizations to help the poor.   The idealistic Christian Socialists
who wanted to assist the underprivileged in helping to improve their situation in life through
education and moral development were alarmed by the Industrial Revolution and its social
effects, including long working hours, the safety risks of the production system, and the self-
absorption of industrialists.
5. The attractive grand plazas, wide avenues, symmetrical design, and monuments that adorn
the well-liked French Beaux-Arts architectural style serve as inspiration for the City
Beautiful Movement. Olmsted and Burnham believed that living in a Beaux-Arts city would
amaze people to the point that it would inspire them to respect their surroundings and
develop into loyal, dignified citizens. During this era of urban monstrosity, the City Beautiful
Movement held the key to solving society's problems. The City Beautiful movement believed
that inclusive green areas offered a context where lower groups of society might learn proper
social behaviors by observing upper classes people.
